I bought a Tuya security camera that suggested it would work with Google Assistant/Google home.

The camera, along with other devices, such as relays and temperature sensors, can be seen in both the Tuya and SmartLife apps but when I try to connect all devices with Google Home, everything EXCEPT the camera are available.

Reading the specifications fine print it said:

  • Can be customized to support Google Hub, google chromecast, echo show and other smart speakers with screens (paid service)

but sesrch as I might, I haven't not been able to find where to purchase the "paid service" anywhere.

Can anyone tell me where to purchase the download to ensble me to see the camera in Google Assistant/Home?

Tuya cameras can be viewed on Google Nest Hub/Nest Hub Max displays, but not in the Google Home app.

To connect Tuya-powered security devices with Google Assistant, you typically need the Smart Life app, which is Tuya’s official platform for managing smart home devices. Once your devices are set up in the Smart Life app, you can link of pro albums  your Smart Life account to Google Assistant through the Google Home app. However, if your specific Tuya device is not directly compatible, you may need additional software like IFTTT (If This Then That) to create custom automation between Tuya and Google Assistant.
